People who are passionate, but not dramatic. People who embrace their individuality. People who enjoy life: those who love good food, good booze, and good company, etc. People who are NOT AFRAID to live outside of their comfort zone and bring the party with them wherever they go when it comes to going out and engaging in social activities. People who either play music or just love music, or both. People who have goals. People who are fearlessly silly. People who are real! People who are the GOOD kind of crazy. Kind, genuine, understanding, loyal friends. People who don't make me feel anxious or uncomfortable being myself. Non-haters. Non-complainers. Optimists. No divas, please.
